10/10/2013 5:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M I don't have time to do snow cores at this time. Still looking for cows, dead or alive. Have very little time for anything else. Supposed to get rain tonight. Not good, not good at all.

10/12/2013 7:00 AM 0.56 0.0 M M M Rain was hard at times and came in on a 50 mph wind. I am never confident of the total in the rain gauge when the rain comes in sideways. Flooding was huge because the rain took most of the snow out. Don't know what the damage is yet.

Spent the last few days getting things thawed and unstuck. I can tell you that there is snow on the ground at it is frigid. -29 for a low yesterday and a high of -4.

2/26/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 2.0 M Really windy. Frigid overnight (-17). Another tough week in store for us... brrrr.... the depth of total snow is a complete guess. The howling wind has cleared off areas and piled snow in other areas. It is impossible to be accurate under these conditions.

3/28/2014 10:00 AM 0.10 2.5 0.10 2.5 M This was a tough one to measure. Snow fell and melted and then drifted immediately. The accumulation is approximate, as is the precipitation amount. The snow blew so much, it didn't fall in the gauge. I took a core, but if I had taken the core a foot to one side or the other, the amount would have been different. Hard to be accurate.

It was very cold and windy and conditions were white out. The amount of snow and moisture is questionable since the wind blew so hard. I called it 2 1/2” of snow, but that is just a guess, and the .12” of moisture was what the gauge caught. How accurate is that? Who knows?

10/5/2013 10/07/2013 11:00 AM 3 2.56 30.0 M I didn't do a core. The winds were so ferocious and the drifts so big (6 to 8 feet in places), there was no way to tell where to take a core and how accurate that could possibly be. I measured the melted snow in my rain gauge. I had removed the inner cylinder on the morning of the 5th as the snow started, which is where I came up with the 2.56" of precipitation. I haven't had time to take daily cores or measurements. We are searching for livestock - dead or alive - and need to locate them before the rain storm that will hit us tonight - forecasters are saying 1 to 2 inches of rain. If that is the case, the ensuing flood will be another disaster for us.
